All cell phone users are not created equal.
Some people seek out phones that can do everything but wash the windows, while others simply wish to talk on them with a few conveniences thrown in.
The Samsung Wave is phone that meets consumers halfway.
It is a mid range model that finds a comfortable balance between being a smartphone and a phone that focuses on practicality.
Whether a web surfing, multimedia powerhouse or simply a means to communicate, all phones need a readout that doesn't require bifocals to see.
The Wave has no peer in this department, as the screen is easily its most striking feature.
The touch screen is very responsive, rectifying a problem with which previous Samsung models were all too familiar.
And it is huge, measuring a robust 3.
3-inches and supports a whopping 16 million colors at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
Even top of the line handsets like the Nexus One are hard pressed to match it, much less surpass it.
With such a vibrant, beautiful picture, one can easily imagine how crisply web pages are rendered.
Photographs are snapped with a 5-megapixel camera.
Though not the highest megapixel count available, features like touch to focus, Geo-tagging, and face and smile detection make the camera more than adequate.
Videos are shot in 720p at 30 frames per second, placing the Wave's capabilities amongst the best available on any phone, regardless of price.
And just to cover all of the photographic bases, a front facing camera is included as well.
It has been established that web pages will look outstanding on the Wave's display, and they can be reached at supersonic speed when surfing the net using a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor.
The connectivity is exceptional with the availability of 3G, EDGE, GPRS, and Wi-Fi 802.
11 b/g/n networks.
Catching up with friends on Facebook and Twitter, finding directions, and reading the latest headlines has never been faster.
In addition, a drop-down notification bar grants useful email notifications and effortless Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and volume setting access.
The Bada OS has never been on the market before, so the number of available applications is still relatively small.
Consisting of 150 apps at the moment, there are thousands more waiting in the wings.
Patience is a virtue in this case, because as the Bada technology becomes more widespread and appears on more and more phones, additional apps will appear.
The Samsung Wave is not trying to dethrone the top dollar smartphones out there.
It is simply a means to provide consumers with a phone that wonderfully combines functionality with some of the luxuries that high end phones provide.
Taking down the Android-powered phones will come later.
